If you're dying to know, take this quiz at True Value Paint. Wanna know what color I was? Black. What!?! "Nothing can stand between you and your demand for a calm environment. To be free of conflict and disagreement is the only way to live...your ability to focus is undisputed, and while you enjoy attention, you still have problems understanding how to handle it. No other color lives by the golden rule as much as you do." Actually not an inaccurate description, but black?

You are quite the powerful thinker. It’s this talent that allows you to overcome a plethora of great obstacles. Luckily, this doesn’t affect your ego and you give off a pretty easy-going appearance. You enjoy the finer things in life and also have an attraction to art. If you can help it, you try not to rock the boat. But you also can’t stop yourself from searching for new ideas, methods or styles.

thanks for such a fun quiz! I'm not sure if it's exactly right about me, but I'm red:

You boast incredible willpower and are capable of overcoming obstacles that would normally leave others shaking in their boots. You have a penchant for colorful environments and often impress others with your energetic bursts of energy. Your interests in many areas of life often leave you scattered, but when you focus you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.

I'm red too, and the part about multiple interests leaving me scattered couldn't be more accurate. :) Curious about the other colors, but I don't have it in me to see what others I can get by changing answers.

Open-minded is the perfect way to describe you. In fact, people often marvel at your ability to try new things. Gentle, relaxed and self-assured, Gray people have the valuable ability to be everyone’s friend. Touting an eye for the aesthetic, your skill for working well with others often leaves others feeling jealous.

Yellow. Pretty accurate description, and I like yellow okay (then again, I like every color). I'm just not sure how the colors correspond to the descriptions. I'd associate powerful thinking with an easygoing nature to blues or purples. Maybe that's just me.

I originally got Black.. but i went back and tried every other possibility pretty much and it only ever gave the colors that other people said, black, yellow, red, purple, brown, and green and gray... sorry tried to get orange to see what it said lol.

hey, jess! i just found this other color quiz, the "color career counselor", that tells you what type of occupation you'd be best suited for simply by analyzing what colors you like to look at. it's quick and fun; thought you might be interested.http://www.careerpath.com/career-tests/colorcareercounselor.aspx

Spontaneity is the key to your existence. Quick-witted with a flair for originality, you enjoy situations that allow you to explore your creativity. Comparatively conservative, you appreciate beautiful surroundings, especially if they’re found in nature. Your relaxed and self-assured personality allows you to work well with others. Surprisingly enough, your unique and unusual tastes don’t prevent you from being comfortable among your more conservative peers.

The only problem? I ABHOR spontaneity. I like routines and mine tend to be rigid...and I don't work well with others. I'm rather the one that prefers to work alone! Other than that, it's rather dead on. Red's description sounds more like me.

Fascinating that True Value has struck out into the realm of fortune-telling. Each color description is like reading a zodiac. Very funny! And bizarre! No doubt a good advertising gimmick, though - who doesn't want to explore herself and read compliments about herself?

That was my thought, too, @lindajones... they have all this old paint that's not selling because people are now into the PRETTY colors, so they're hoping maybe this'll get it moving again. ;)

So Jess, if you paint your living room black, you'll have a "calm environment", see? Go buy some black paint from True Value. Hurry, because I suspect there's gonna be a real run on it after this quiz!

The quiz was fun - I got BLACK. even when I went back in and tried some different also-semi-true answer I still got BLACK.But it was more fun to see everyone's answers! So many blacks and yellows and redsI'm wondering where the heck is blue?!

Black as well. I have to agree that the description was spot on minus the sections about "your ability to focus is undisputed" seeing that I should be doing my work and I'm on here. I love back as an accent but I never thought of it as the color that matches my personality... I find myself to be a much brighter person.

I got yellow. The words were accurate, the colour... not so much. I ALWAYS get blue or green in these things, which is fair enough as these are my favourite colours. Some of these quizzes, if I go back another day and take it, I'll get blue where I got green - it usually lines up with whatever one I'm more into at that time, too!

Went back and changed some answers: black. Maybe the maker is colour blind? ;)

I should not be surprised that you and I are both "black." And, if I had to pick a color, it would be black. Its what I like to where because I have to pick colors in too many other aspects of my life.
